Peters's fruit bat

Mammals

Peters's fruit bat (Cynopterus luzoniensis) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae and one of the short-nosed fruit bats of the genus Cynopterus. It is found in Sulawesi, in the Philippines and on adjacent small islands. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Cynopterinae, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as steady. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
